Mark Lowman

I鈥檓 a qualified integrative therapist and hypnotherapist, registered with both the 麻豆原创 and NCPS, offering a grounded, relational approach to therapy. My practice draws on psychodynamic thinking, cognitive approaches, and trauma-informed care to support clients through life鈥檚 complexities 鈥� from anxiety and depression to low self-esteem, addiction, grief, identity struggles, and relationship issues.

Before retraining as a therapist, I spent a decade in the financial sector. That experience gave me deep insight into high-pressure environments, emotional suppression, and the costs of 鈥渃oping鈥� rather than truly processing. I bring that understanding into my work, helping clients feel safe enough to drop the mask and explore what鈥檚 really going on beneath the surface.

My clients often describe me as warm, reflective, and straightforward. I don鈥檛 sit in silence or nod passively 鈥� I鈥檒l engage with you, offer insights, and walk alongside you as we make sense of the patterns that keep you  

Whether you鈥檙e dealing with a specific issue or experiencing a general sense of overwhelm or dissatisfaction, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, understand what you need, and move forward with clarity.

I offer both short-term and longer-term work depending on your goals. Sessions are available online and in-person across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and London

My therapy practice provides a safe and reflective space where you can slow down, unpack what鈥檚 happening in your life, and begin to make sense of the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that are troubling you.

I work integratively 鈥� drawing from a range of approaches including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioural tools, inner child work, and hypnotherapy. This means sessions are tailored to your unique personality, history, and goals, rather than using a rigid, one-size-fits-all model.

Areas I commonly work with include anxiety, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, pornography and sex addiction, emotional dysregulation, grief, trauma, and identity crises. I鈥檓 particularly experienced in supporting people who are functioning well on the outside but feel lost, disconnected, or self-critical on the inside.

In addition to private clients, I also work via BetterHelp and have supported dozens of individuals across the UK with diverse emotional and psychological needs. My style is collaborative, down-to-earth, and thoughtful. I may offer gentle challenge when needed, but always with respect and empathy.

I believe therapy should feel like a conversation with depth 鈥� not a clinical interrogation or a vague chat. Together, we鈥檒l build a therapeutic relationship based on honesty, safety, and curiosity, allowing you to develop greater insight, resilience, and emotional freedom.

Sessions are available online and in-person. I also offer structured support for individuals struggling with porn or sex addiction through a dedicated recovery program.

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and explore what鈥檚 bringing you to therapy. It鈥檚 not a free consultation, but it is a full 50-minute therapeutic session charged at my standard rate.

In our initial meeting, I鈥檒l invite you to talk about what鈥檚 been happening in your life 鈥� what feels stuck, painful, confusing, or hard to manage. There鈥檚 no pressure to tell your whole story at once; you can go at your own pace. Some people come with a clear issue in mind, while others just feel something isn鈥檛 right. Either is completely welcome.

I鈥檒l also ask some gentle questions about your background, what support (if any) you鈥檝e had before, and what you鈥檙e hoping to gain from therapy. I鈥檒l explain how I work, what you can expect from me, and how we might approach the issues you鈥檙e facing.

You鈥檙e under no obligation to commit to ongoing sessions after the first 鈥� it鈥檚 about seeing if we鈥檙e the right fit. If we decide to continue, we鈥檒l agree a regular day and time for your sessions and begin the deeper work.

If you鈥檙e unsure or nervous, that鈥檚 completely understandable. Many people feel a little apprehensive about starting therapy. My aim is to create a calm, supportive space where you can begin to feel safe, understood, and gently held as you begin your therapeutic journey.
